Netflix has been denied a motion to dismiss a US defamation lawsuit resulting from its hit series The Queen’s Gambit.
The streaming giant is accused of misrepresenting “one of the most significant career achievements” of trailblazing female chess champion Nona Gaprindashvili, who is referenced in the series.
Lawyers said the alleged defamation had been broadcast “before millions of viewers worldwide” and “tarnished (her) personal and professional reputation”.
